...would expect to hear from a George Wallace or a Strom Thurmond: defense of the American way of life from the Russian threat, pursuit of fiscal integrity to wipe out the nefarious national debt, welfare reform to ferret out the cheaters, etc. When Evers isn't talking like an arch-conservative, he's persuading Mississippians he can better fatten their wallets than any other politician.

Gadsden, one of the several outside directors who hoped that the president could stay on. Both Ford and lacocca can be at times charming, abrasive, cordial and arch. A clash of their personalities was all but inevitable from the moment that Ford, the celebrated heir who liked to remind subordinates that "my name is on the building," elevated lacocca, the ambitious hired manager, to president in 1970. Early rumored to have the inside track on the job of chief...
